Long before Drake was the big name he is, now, there was tension between Birdman and Jay Z. Often, Birdman found ways to take Jay Z’s credibility and position Lil Wayne as the bigger artist. Initially, this began in 2006-2007, restarting in the 2010-2011 period.

With Kanye West being Jay Z’s right-hand man, the stage was set for he and Drake to be rivals. This was in spite of Kanye producing Drake’s 2010 hit, “Find Your Love” and Jay Z appearing on that album. But, since 2013, the media has pushed a Drake/Jay Z feud.

Noticeably, Jay Z has avoided direct beef since he and Nas had their legendary battle. Recently, Kanye West aired out his own personal issues with Jay Z, saying Watch The Throne 2 was never coming, but his album with Drake was. Drake confirmed this with an Instagram post and shared a camel emoji, dissing Jay Z.
